My EMT instructor told me that about ten years ago they carried a clipboard with random x-ray shots in it. So, when a drunk thought the ambulance sounded better than a squad car and complained after a scuffle about possibly having a broken hand or wrist (which they obviously did not) he'd tell them to step up to his portable x-ray machine. He'd have them place their hand on it, make a "Vvzzzzzzzoooo" sound, and pull out a perfectly ok x-ray and tell them they were fine. :rofl:

When asked if I am good at something or if I have done it before I answer "No but I did watch a video about it once".

As far as IV I sometimes answer "Don't worry I use to stick myself all the time...."

Every time I hand a patient the consent form, I say "This is just a paper stating that I didn't kidnap you."

Always get a smile.

I have a bunch of x rays from when my dog fell out of a tree. I carry them around in my backpack but so far the opportunity to use them hasn't presented itself.

OK OK Big, what was your dog doing in a tree?

(drum shot):rofl:

"Fred and Ginger"

Older female pts, enroute:
"See, you're like Ginger Rogers and my driver's like Fred Astaire; he's driving all over the place, and you're keeping up, only backwards and belted to a sixty pound litter!".

I suppose there is a DWTS analog...).
